The connections between the CPU, memory and peripherals used to carry data. Other connections are the address bus and control signals.
The width of the data bus is one of the main factors determining the processing power of a computer. Most current processor designs use a 32 bit bus, meaning that 32 bits of data can be transferred at once. Some processors have an internal data bus which is wider than their external bus in order to make external connections cheaper while retaining some of the benefits in processing power of a wider bus.
